Canada’s Silver Maple Leaf coins were first introduced in 1988, nearly a decade after its gold counterpart. In recent years, the RCM has tinkered with the iconic image on its silver sovereign coin by adding privy marks to celebrate the animals of the Chinese Zodiac. Since 2015 is the Year of the Goat, a small sheep privy was added to the reverse side in honor of the occasion.

On the reverse side of each coin is the traditional image of the sugar maple leaf, featured on Canadian Maple Leaf coins in the same relief since 1979. Along with the engravings of “Canada,” the coin’s weight, metal content, and purity, is a small sheep below the maple leaf.

The obverse side still bears the unaltered image of Queen Elizabeth II. Last updated in 2003 by artist Susanna Blunt, this depiction features the Queen of England in a right-profile portrait. The coin’s year of minting and face value are included on this side.

Canada’s Royal Canadian Mint is perhaps the finest sovereign mint in the world. It has produced gold bars to finance Britain’s World War I debt, gold medals for the Vancouver Winter Olympics in 2010, and even struck the world’s first $1 million coin.
